Cardinals keep the heat on

STL 6  SF 5

Nolan Arenado continued his Giants-killing ways with three hits including a first-inning homer. He got help from another Giants-killer, Paul Goldschmidt, who had two hits and two RBI. That was almost enough just from those two alone. A late two-run surge against reliever John Brebbia was too big of a hole to climb out of and the Giants lost their second straight game. Johnny Cueto gave up nine hits and four runs in his six innings and the lineup went 3-for-16 with RISP. Jason Vosler almost hit the game-winner in the 9th, but his opposite-field fly ball was caught on the wall for the final out. Adam Wainwright started for St. Louis and gave up three runs in his five innings. Brandon Crawford had four hits and drove in three and Mike Yastrzemski had three hits and scored two.

Alex Wood tonight at 6:45 Pacific.

Go Giants!
